16x20x1 AC Furnace Air Filter, MERV 5, 3-Month Pleated 1-Inch Electrostatic 6-Pack for Home Use

You maintain a well-organized household, paying attention to every detail. Unfortunately, standard non-electrostatic air filters used in homes are not very effective at capturing unwanted particles. However, there is good news. The electrostatically charged design of the Filtrete Basic Dust Air Filter attracts and traps more particles from the air, making it easier to maintain air quality. Each time the air passes through the filter, it becomes cleaner, contributing to a healthier home environment.

The Filtrete 300 MPR dust reduction filter not only significantly improves the air quality in your home, but it also ensures the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. This leads to savings on utility bills and maintenance costs. With its electrostatic filter, it attracts and captures airborne dust, pollen, and other large particles, keeping the surfaces in your home cleaner and dust-free for longer. As the air passes through the specially pleated filter, the overall air quality in your living space improves, promoting a healthier home environment. This high-performance filter outperforms non-electrostatic fiberglass filters and washable and reusable one-inch filters.

Electrostatic filters, including the 3M dust reduction filter, are superior to non-electrostatic filters because they attract and capture small microparticles that can aggravate allergies. With indoor air being two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, using the 3M dust reduction filter can have a significant impact on maintaining a healthier home environment by continuously cleaning the air as it passes through the filter. It is particularly effective at capturing large particles such as household dust and pollen, as indicated by its 300 Microparticle Performance Rating (MPR).

In addition to improving air quality, this dust reduction filter also enhances the efficiency of your heating and air conditioning equipment by removing dirt and reducing strain on the motor. It is recommended to change the filter every three months, although the actual effectiveness and lifespan may vary depending on the unique conditions in your home.

About Filtrete Air Filters, for nearly 25 years, Filtrete filters have been delivering cleaner air to millions of homes, establishing themselves as leaders in residential air filtration. Developed by 3M engineers, the Filtrete filter media is electrostatically charged, acting like tiny magnets to attract and capture microscopic particles from the air. The company's technical team continues to develop innovative filtration solutions for various applications, including air cleaning filters, room air purifiers, and water filtration products.

The pack of six 3M 300 MPR dust reduction filters that you will receive outperforms fiberglass, washable, and non-electrostatic filters. These 1-inch pleated filters are designed with exclusive Filtrete Brand 3-in-1 technology from 3M, ensuring the trapping of unwanted air particles while allowing cleaner air to flow through. They attract and capture large particles such as lint, household dust, and dust mite debris. The MPR 300 rating corresponds to a MERV 5 rating, indicating its effectiveness in capturing microparticles like pollen, pet dander, and smoke.

For optimal performance of your heating, cooling, or HVAC system, it is recommended to change the filter at least every 90 days. This is because a dirty filter can slow down air flow and cause the system to work harder, wasting energy. To help you remember when to change the filter, you can sign up for a filter change reminder program that suits your needs.

Please note that these filters are for residential use only. To simplify the filter replacement process, you can create a change countdown in the Filtrete Smart app. By scanning the barcode on your filter's packaging, you can select a replacement countdown of 30, 60, or 90 days. When the time is up, you will receive a notification reminding you to change the filter. The filters themselves are made of polypropylene material.
